Latex Allergy

Welcome to the Club! Each latex exposure seems to react a little stronger. Anaphylaxis, technically speaking, is often evidenced in stages: hives, breathing difficulty, systemic shut down, coma, death, though not necessarily in that order. Have you seen an allergist? If not, I would advise that you see one right away. My second piece of advice is to do as my allergist advised me: "Stay away from latex at all costs." Good Luck. Dean
